physio Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 So I came across this ad for a doc at Montefiore Medical Center and one of the requirements was for one physician to supervise not one, two, or three but THIRTY PAs. Not sure what to think of it really. I wonder how that works tho; anyone have any insight on this? Here's the link btw: http://www.jobfox.com/Web/Seeker/Landing/AppJobDetails.aspx?AppJobId=f71dbb0a-6e44-46ca-945c-fce8ec9d056b&source=simplyhired150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly they are structured in various groups with a supervisory PA and physician over each group. This looks like the supervisory physician for EM. For what its worth when I did EM there were 160 physicians on my secondary physician list. So technically each doc was "supervising" something like 100 PAs. Never more than 2-3 at a time though.

polarbebe Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 This is probably correct. They have senior PAs, quality PAs and then charge PAs then attendings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted May 26, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 26, 2011 we have 40 docs and 15 pa's in our group. all 40 docs are alternate supervisors for all 15 pa's but no doc is officially the sp of record for more than 3 pa's. probably similar situation there. each of our docs could say they supervise 15 pa's(and they do) but on paper they only have a few each or none at all.

andersenpa Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 My read on this is that they mean "little s" supervise, not "big S" supervise. Informal oversight, not the formal (legal) supervisory arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
